Service & Maintenance
Washing the machine
V-belt – Checking
1. Remove the protective cover and inspect the V belt.
2. To adjust belt tension, loosen the four engine plate bolts and slide it into position.
3. Tighten the bolts and replace the protective cover.
Washing (high pressure)
Keep the machine clean.
Do not spray water directly on electric components or the instrument panel. Put a plastic bag
over the fi ller cap of the fuel tank and secure with a rubber band. This will prevent water from
entering the venting hole in the fi ller cap. This could otherwise cause operational disturbance,
for example, a clogged fi lter.
Use only the frame lifting hook (1) to lift the machine.

Never run the machine without the protective cover over the V
